Last year I went from a Losi 1.0 to the Jammin' X2. Jumped way up in lap times. Car seems to fit my driving style more than most others. It taught me control, cause if you push it TOO hard it will bite you. But the car loves to be pushed. drive it hard and its fine, seems to drive better ON throttle more than off. going to change somethings this year to get it turn more off power. my biggest complaint is that i couldn't get the off power push outa it, and thats probably 100% me!!! lol the car is great. Some people complain it's heavy/wide but to me that weight is distributed great and just makes it easier to drive! (never drove an x1)
